I loved those matches between Ken and Andre the Giant. Ken"s facial expressions when getting rag dolled by Andre was priceless.Ken knew how to keep you watching.

I particularly remember the WWWF days between Bruno and him and a whole lot of tough wrestlers. He's right, and Bruno was the only real living legend that was always on top the way he was.

Wrong, Ken. Flair was using the "Nature Boy gimmic a couple years before Buddy came to Mid-Atlantic. I was there and remember it well. That's when Flair began using the Figure-4 ... to "contend" with Buddy. I remember it was really sloppy at first, compared to Tim Woods who was known for the move at that time (in Mid-Atlantic)

You're a bit off. "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers was born in 1921 and started wrestling as a teenager in 1939 and was the first champion of the WWWF in 1963, when he was 42 years old, and lost the title to Bruno Sammartino that year. Rick Flair was was born in 1949 and started wrestlin in the 1970s. Rogers was the Nature Boy before Ric Flair was born. Rogers was an old man and came out of retirement to feud with Flair over the Nature Boy nickname. Flair had nothing but respect for Rogers.

Ken forgot about the "Battle of the Nature Boys" feud between Flair and Rogers. Flair changed his gimmick and nickname before Rogers came to Mid-Atlantic. Rogers came to Mid-Atlantic to feud with Flair in 79. Rogers was the heel and Flair the babyface, with Rogers claiming also that Flair was applying the figure four incorrectly. Rogers also didn't feud with Snuka, instead Rogers turned Snuka to heel and was managing Snuka in Mid-Atlantic, which is ironic since about 3 years later, Rogers would turn Snuka back to babyface and managed him again in the WWF.

It's a shame how both Bruno and Buddy were misused by the WWF in their retirement years. Great champions like them including Nick Bockwinkle who worked for wwf given jobs as road agents (or drivers) instead of using them for greater positions like backstage producers for the younger wrestlers to seek guidance to master their craft.

I liked Patera, but he definitely was not memorable. Superstar Billy Graham, memorable

Superstar Billy Graham was a pro wrestler through and through and knew the techniques and psychology and the art of selling. Patera was a champion weightlifter (Pan Am Games) who wrestled because it was a great way for a strong man like him to make a living.
